A Violent Masterpiece

FROM THE AUTHOR OF EVERYBODY KNOWS

'If you like your horror/suspense/mystery, with a hanging that parallels the Jeffrey Epstein 'suicide", pick this barn-burner up now. The only book that equals it for sheer terror is The Silence of the Lambs' STEPHEN KING

This place is a crime that can't be solved. And that's why we love it.

LA is a brutal, burning city. It is America with nowhere to run. Each night Jake Deal captures it on a livestream to his blood-hungry subscribers. Above board, Doug Gibson is a street lawyer trying to fix the system one case at a time. Underground, Kara Delgado is working for a private concierge company - a make-a-wish foundation for the terminally rich.

When Kara's best friend Phoebe goes missing, she soon finds herself in the worlds of both Jake and Doug. Will the remaining humanity of this fragile team kill them all or expose one enormous, unspeakable crime?
